I feel so helpless now, my guitar is not aroundAnd i'm strugglin with the xylophoneTo make these feelings soundAnd I'm rememberin' you singin'And bringin' you to lifeIt's rainin' out the windowAnd today it looks like night

You haven't written to me in a weekI'm wonderin' why that isAre you too nervous to be loversFriendship's ruined with just one kiss?I watched you very closely, I saw you look awayYour eyes are either gray or blueI'm never close enough to say

But your sweatshirt says it allWith the hood over your faceI can't keep starin' at your mouthWithout wonderin' how it tastesI'm with another boy(He's asleep, I'm wide awake)And he tried to win my heartBut it's taken(Time...)

I know the shape of your handsBecause I watch 'em when you talkAnd I know the shape of your body'Cause I watch it when you walkAnd I want to know it allBut I'm giving you the leadSo go on, go on and take itDon't fake it, shake it

Don't second-guess your feelingsYou were right from the startAnd I notice she's your loverBut she's nowhere near your heartThis city is for strangersLike the sky is for the starsBut I think it's very dangerousIf we do not take what's ours

And I'm winnin' you with wordsBecause I have no other wayI want to look into your faceWithout your eyes turnin' awayLast night I watched you singBecause a person has to tryAnd I walked home in the rainBecause a person can not lie...

There were trails of fallen treesDeciduous and weeding marshThe lowland birds and crickets roaredThe final sound of fallAlong the banks of the riverWe approached the footbridgeEntering the wildernessFollowing my footstep

The silence between us is the timeWhen I can't hear the thoughtsThat's on your mind, yeah

Beyond the panic and worried thatSeems to consume most every thoughtThere lies a calm and steady handThat someday you might seePerhaps it isn't what you wantedOr even what you're looking forBut once you see the symmetryOnce you see the you and me

The silence between us is the timeWhen I can't hear the thoughtsThat's on your mind, yeahWinter lovers, we're so nervousThe words will disappearWhat thoughts are on your mind, yeah

You park the car outside the Holiday InnWe cross the highway single-fileAnd you were walking in a hurryAnd there was me without water with a smileYeah!

The silence between us is the timeWhen I can't hear the thoughtsThat's on your mind, yeah
